The first thing you want to do is verify how much water you have in the lawn. Ideally we want 6-8 inches of water saturation in the soil. Without water the grass goes into stress dormancy and goes brown. Lawns are sensitive to this process and if you leave your grass dry for too long it dies. Its important to act fast. Once the grass goes brown we usually have two weeks to wake it up.
Step 1 is to push the water back into the lawn. We do not want to water too much too soon. I recommend for the average system to water 1 hour daily for 6 to 10 days to catch the soil back up. For hunter mp rotator systems this means you'll need to water two hours per day or more. I recommend watering each zone 15 minutes at a time 4 times per day. this helps the water saturate into the soil. If you push too much water too fast the water will run off the top.
Step 2 is using a recovery product. My preference is essential plus 1-0-1 at 4oz per 1 gallon over 1000 sq ft. Other products such as greene county fert's rgs and Revive granular works great.
Optional Step
- If the dead spots have sat longer than 2 weeks it may be wise to lightly rake through the dead matter. this will help encourage the new growth to find the sunlight.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I remember dealing with getting that 6”-8” of water saturation in my soil, and I had to deal with fungus on the grass because of watering so much, but I put treatment down and let the fungus grow up to where I could bag it and get rid of it! Learned it from your channel years ago!

[@pestandlawnginja]

awesome. glad you found a good work around.

[@jackj5591]

Thanks Ginja. Been really dry here by Chicago the last 6 weeks. I was irrigating but must have not been enough because I was getting those spots. Looked similar to fungus but knew there was no way it could be. Been way too dry and no humidity. I bought some of that Essentials plus too! Micros will definitely help nutrient intake and help retain moisture

[@pestandlawnginja]

Good luck! Slay that lawn

[@pickavana8056]

Nice job! Great to see the before/after, proof it works. So, after the initial saturation, did you continue to over-water after spraying or reduced water to 15 mins per day? How can you tell initially if its drought or nugs or fungus? I will check your other videos to see if you cover other issues. Thanks for bringing these videos to youtube and sharing your solutions.

[@igorayres91]

Ginja, love your videos!! Question for you: Should I apply the recovery product and THEN water for 6-10 days or do I need to saturate the soil first before applying the recovery product? How does the watering go after applying the product?

If you apply the product and water the same day no problem. You don’t want to apply the product and then wait another couple of days to start watering

[@jimmybridges5464]

You can fix that with Johnson’s baby shampoo as a soil surfactant and not have to flood it daily

[@eugenieandrews8874]

Impressive results Jared! When I water 3/4" to push moisture into the soil, the grass blades develop a little condensation when Utah nightly temperatures drop until the soil dries down. It isn't visibly wet, only very slightly wet to the touch. Is that typical of having moist soil and will that constant slight nighttime moisture lead to fungal problems?

[@pestandlawnginja]

we have been unusually humid the last few years. if you're seeing mushrooms i back off a few minutes on my weekly watering until they disappear. condensation on the blades is fairly common. as for why it isn't visably wet after a big water like that....... best to dig into the soil and verify its all there. I've seen some very rocky or sandy soils where the water went straight through. I ended up suggesting 5 to 6 nights a week watering with shorter times to keep the water at the roots.

[@eugenieandrews8874]

@@pestandlawnginja Thanks Jared, sorry for the confusingly wording. What I meant was the wetness from the condensation on the blades of grass is so slight that it isn't visible and barely perceptible to the touch, but the soil is definitely visibly wet. I take it from your response, that slight wetness from condensation won't cause fungus?

You’ll commonly still pull a plug compacted or not. What we want to look at is water saturation. Compacted soil will take more time for the water to enter. To answer your question I use calcium and humates to help with compaction as well as a revive granular to help

The high sulphuric is interesting. If you’re in salt lake county or utah county I haven’t encountered high sulphur in those valleys. Essential plus is a calcium and sea kelp product. The only close substitute I’m aware of is rgs by Greene county fert. But ifa sells a sea kelp product and a separate calcium product made from gypsum

hahaha, mowing dirt. sooo true. As for if the grass will recover. grasses like kentucky bluegrass will be fine up to 3 weeks after it goes brown. grasses like ryegrass are limited to 1 week after it goes brown before its dead dead. tttf is about 2 weeks or so.

[@pestandlawnginja]

the trick is to do more minutes with less days. so if you commonly do 25 minutes daily. multiply by 7. 25 x 7= 175 then divide 175 minutes by 3 days per week = 58 minutes per station. Hope that helps.

[@WillK-be8cq]

Great content Ginja! What are your recommendations for soil that doesn't achieve 6-8" water depth despite heavy watering? I'm in the PNW (like @Ari-sv6sf) and after taking core samples this spring, I'm only seeing water in the top 1" of soil on core sampling. This is consistent with what I saw last summer, where the lawn went dormant despite heavy watering. It subsequently developed a fungal infestation which I treated with Gravex 20EW. Seems like I have a significant soil issue. Time for core aeration and sanding??

[@Ari-sv6sf]

Brother I am in Port Orchard WA and I refuse to believe with all the rain we have gotten that my issue is drought stress but I am going to follow your advice. Can I use a regular pump sprayer to apply the Essential 101?

[@danieltaulbee]

It sounds like you could use deeper waterings and more time between them. Let that water work its way down deeper into the root zone, while the top inch of so does our from the heat. This forces deeper root growth and deprives fungi of constant top-level moisture. Possibly amend with a bit of compost after a fall aeration to address your clay issues. Notice I said "address" and not "fix." Amending soil takes seasons. There is probably no one and done solution for your issues. Gradual progress for the win!

[@pestandlawnginja]

@@joelehoe3542 its possible. I've seen people with layering issues with this same problem. clay on top sand below. I would play with the watering times. just take it down a few minutes per zone until the problem goes away. in the end if you have layering issues the problem may not be resolved like this. I've used soil penetrants to help scuff the soil surface. revive liquid from home depot works well in these instances.

[@pestandlawnginja]

well.... depends on your goal. the issue I have for both is they need to be used for what they're intended for. aeration helps with compaction and helps remove thatch but it disrupts the soil. liquid aeration can help reduce thatch but doesn't do anything about the debris on the surface which is what dethatchers were made for. liquid aeration also needs to be done over and over and over throughout the season to have any benefit. I think generally there's a mis conception of what they do.

My lawn spray paint works in a minute or two.

How you like those ear buds man?

[@pestandlawnginja]

The new ANC’s are sick!!!! Best buds I’ve used. I’m a little picky with the sound output and the individual drivers are awesome

[@milenstoimenov9532]

Grass never goes dormant with this pattern. The redish color and uneven pattern are typical from Anthracnose. It is everywhere this year. I have it in my own lawn, at shade with dialed in irrigation. In dry soil you'll never see small patches of healthy lawn surrounded by redish yellow grass...ever.

[@pestandlawnginja]

thanks for your comment. have a great day.

[@cohardy5]

What are the names you mentioned and can it be use on centipede grass

[@pestandlawnginja]

everything is listed in the description of the video :) I would limit the use to essential plus 1 - 0 1 on centipede. the excess nitrogen could potentially cause issues in the revive granular.

[@cohardy5]

@@pestandlawnginja ok thanks

[@jimritzojr2301]

Leave it alone. It's not dead

[@pestandlawnginja]

@jimritzojr2301 just mostly dead

How to reseed a fungus lawn area?

[@pestandlawnginja]

I have a few videos on this subject. best to make scuff the area, drop the seed and put a some dirt over the top. then keep it wet / damp for 3 weeks.

[@elizabethdaniel512]

What if it’s brown patch? I have that in my zoysia

[@pestandlawnginja]

brown patch is best cured with use of a dual action fungicide like heritage g

[@Jonathan-ci7fs]

Are you in orem?

[@dannymartinez8522]

I wish i could watee at night but my st augustine doesnt like fungus

[@pestandlawnginja]

When humid…. It happens

[@dannymartinez8522]

True but 102 degree weather doesn't help so I have to water more often than usual

[@louishinkle371]

How many times do you apply the 1 0 1?

[@pestandlawnginja]

In these videos I only applied them one time. It would be wise to do two within two weeks but I commonly only do one application. these products are fantastic to use when the hot weather is coming. the grass loves it and helps keep it hardy in the heat.

What was the name of the liquid product called again.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Hi Kendall! Everything is listed and linked in the description of the video.

[@kendallowens2760]

Okay, thanks. I will rebook at it again.

Hate living in Canada. We can’t get essential 321 😢

Vote the communists out and you'd be able to.

Baby shampoo. Get a sprayer and put down baby shampoo and water.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great way to help open the soil

[@1manmanythings144]

So water it and dont mow for a few weeks

[@pestandlawnginja]

The mowing only matters if you use the essential plus

[@SVW1976]

Those edges are unacceptable 😂

[@hughmohan3592]

Does this work on dog urine spots? :)

[@pestandlawnginja]

I prefer to use revive spray

[@bobmckane6922]

Don't think this would work with fescue

[@pestandlawnginja]

It does. I've done it a number of time.

It's a mix between ginger and ninja, ginger for his red hair, ninja cuz he's a master of lawnjutsu
